Accumulating evidence that the Skool of Meganta
is pre-"culinary" but post-"hunter/gatherer".
Krimson Skooler
"Good for what ails you." (popular refreshment
at the Skool of Meganta, they say).
Stir 2 tbsp red beet powder into one quart plain unsweetened kefir
(this complements the natural buttermilk health tradition).
Add 1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate to sweeten.
Jicamama
Another "Good for what ails you." (they say).
Wash and peel a medium jicama,
slice like fat French fries, then refrigerate
in 50/50 mixture of apple juice concentrate
and water, sprinkled with cinnamon.
Almondios
"Good for what ails you." (also popular
at the Skool of Meganta, they say).
Soak raw almonds in water overnight,
then drain and refrigerate until used.
Seedy PBonly
"Good for what ails you." (not necessarily
Aladdin's "Open Sesame!", but nutritional boost).
Combine 18oz jar "peanuts only butter"
with 1 1/4 cups white sesame seeds; refrigerate.
Prof. Newton's Apple
"Good for what ails you." (teacher pleaser
at the Skool of Meganta ... apparently).
Mix 2 large, chopped red apples
with 2/3 cup natural apple sauce (chilled)
and 2/3 cup dried cranberries; refrigerate.
Ginger's Oother (pronounced 'Ginger Soother')
"Good for what ails you." (soothes sore throats of Skool teachers
who lecture wherever and whenever they deem permissible;
to be sent to the Deem of Permissible is a good thing).
Gently masticate a slice of raw ginger for 30 min.
whenever a sore throat seems Permissible reward.
Seedy Spooner
Myth records that Skool's Prof. Newton and Prof. Adam
(somehow related to the apple) were chatting after class
when Prof. Newton shouted "Seedy Spooner!" ... but
Prof. Adam heard "See De Spooner?". Since they were
looking toward a cranberry bog, Prof. Adam assumed
that a spooner had a romantic interest nearby.
Long myth short: Dried cranberries were soon
added to Seedy PBonly to create Seedy Spooner,
a chewy energy treat (presumably oft shared
by hopeful spooners on the bog log).
Vigorously (as with spooner anticipation)
stir 1 cup dried cranberries into 2 cups PBonly;
refrigerate to avoid excessive spooner heat.
Long myth short longer:
Seedy Wedgie
(fresh wedges of sliced orange) was a palette freshener
afore seedy spoonin' commenced (or resumed).
Kottage Mustard
"Good for what ails you." (bold taste/texture
at the Skool of Meganta, they say).
Whip together 8oz container Low-Fat Cottage Cheese,
5oz container 0% Plain Greek Yogurt, 1/2 tsp garlic granules,
12oz container Stoneground Mustard, 2 tbsp dried parsley,
1 tbsp virgin olive oil; refrigerate.
Serve on/with whatever, wherever, whenever
... even with faux fowl.
Appley Kakao
"Good for what ails you." (applesauce and cacao,
oft aptly concocted at the Skool of Meganta).
Stir together 1 1/2 cups natural applesauce,
1/4 tsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp 100% cacao powder,
2 1/2 tbsp finely shredded coconut; refrigerate.
Serve on/with whatever, wherever, whenever
... oft not with chopsticks (unless served
with raw walnut halves).
Appley Kakao OO (pronounced 'Kakaooo')
"Good for what ails you." (AK with Overnight Oats
for an energy breakfast at the Skool of Meganta).
Stir 2 tbsp oat bran into 3/4 cup Appley Kakao
and refrigerate overnight. To serve, drizzle on
virgin coconut oil and top with raw walnuts.
Gifted professors oft enhance their tutoring day
with stimulating wedgies (post-Kakaooo orange slices).
Avocado Butter
"Good for what ails you." (great for toasted
whatever, whenever at the Skool of Meganta).
Mash 3 not-too-ripe avocados, stir in 1/2 tsp salt,
2 tbsp virgin olive oil and 1/4 tsp garlic granules.
Sprinkle paprika on after applying to toast
(try Ezekiel 4:9 Flax Bread).
Tuna Skooper
"Good for what ails you." (a tuna scoopable for
whatever, whenever at the Skool of Meganta).
Mash 15oz can cannellini beans (drained),
then stir in 5oz can tuna (drained), 1 tsp dried dill,
1/2 tsp garlic granules, 2 tbsp lemon-flavored fish oil.
